Three Years on SKINNED Milk.

Louis Herbst. who keeps saloon and
hotel on Market street, between Front and
Second streets. Camden, and who is one
of the best known Germans in South Jer-
sey, celebrated yesterday his third ami
versary of skinned milk diet. Mr.
Herbst is a large, finely formed man of
about fifty years OF age, and weighs about
two hundred pounds. Three years ago
he was afflicted with dyspepsia and kidney
troubles and was advised by his physician
to try a diet of skinned milk exclusively
He tried the remedy for a couple of
months and was so benefited by the diet
that he determined to try it for year
At the expiration of the latter period Mr.
herbst's health was almost perfect. Far
from becoming thin or emaciated from the
long continued use OF skinned milk, his
form was if possible even more rotund
than before. and by the advice of his doc
tor he decided to adopt skinned milk as
his exclusive diet permanently. For
three years he has eaten or drank abso-
lutely nothing but the article named-not
even water-and declared to his friends
who visited him yesterday that he pro-
posed to continue skinned milk and dis
pense with steaks, bread and butter and
beer tor the rest of his life.

Josiah Aliens children have been
brought up to think that sin of any kind
is just as bad in man as woman and
any place of amusement that was bad for
woman to go was bad for man.
Now, when Thomas Jefferson was lit

cuses, and Josiah said:
Better let him go, Samantha; 1t hain't
no place for wimmen or girls, but it won't

Says /, Josiah Allen, the Lord made
Thomas Jefferson with jest as pure a
heart as Tirzah Ann, and no bigger ears
and eyes. and if Thomas s. goes to the
circus Tirzah Ann goes too"
That stopped that. And then he was
bewitched to get with other boys that
smoked and chewed tobacco, and Josiah

Josiah Allen, if Thomas Jefferson

to make q fool and brute of anybody. it

Surgery by a Bird

A Cleveland man discovered birds
nest in bis barn and found in it two young
swallows. Upon taking one bird in his
hand he was astonished to find one of it's
legs very thoroughly bandaged with horse
hair. Having carefully removed the hairs
one by one he was still more astonshed
to find that the nestling's leg was broken.
Upon visiting the "patien." the next day
the leg was again bandaged as before.
The bird surgeon was not again interfered
with, and in about two weeks it was found
that the hairs were being cautiously re-
moved, only few each day, and finally
when all were taken off, the callus was
distinctly felt and the union of the bone
evidently perfect, as the bird was able to
fly off with its mates

Snake Farming.

A correspondent of the Atlanta Consti-
tuition describes q farm in Illinois. the
products of which are of nature to make
the flesh of any but enthusiastic natural
lists creep with horror. The farm is car
ried on for the purpose of propagatiDg
rattlesnakes, which are sold at a good
round price A certain firm is at present
using rattlesnake oil in the manufacture of
a remedy for rheumatism, and the Illinois
farmer has agreed to furnish two hundred
and fifty snakes for the laboratory during
the season, no reptile being less than six
years old, or measuring less than four feet
in length.
There are thirty-seven "mounds" on the
farm-slightly raised hillocks-where the
snakes burrow in winter, and live with
their Young in summer. On the south side
OF one mound. where they could get the
full benefit of the sun, were to be seen on
the day OF the reporters visit, over fifty
reptiles, which took not the slightest no.
tice of the presence of spectators.

at least ten eggs. l have seen nests hold

The Drill Grand Success.
WASHINGTON, May 26.-The Richmond
Greys broke camp this morning and left for
home, They came here with the under
standing that they would not remain after
they had taken part in the competitive in
fantry drill. Company A, Third North
Carolina regiment, also returned home to-
day. The reason was that many of the
members are engaged in business, and they
were unable to obtain leave of absence be-
yond to-day.
COMPETITIVE DRILLS.
The weather was superb today. The day
was industriously devoted to the competitive
drilling, and the authorities profiting by
experience and criticism, are making the
work very interesting. Seven or eight
thousand spectators were in the grand stand
The competing infantry companies were the
Governors Guard, of Raleigh, n. c.; the
Louisiana Rifles, the Sarsfield Guards, of
New Haven Conn. Company c. First New
Jersey; Company B, Washington Light In
fantry corps; the Toledo (Oy Cadets and
Company A, Washington %. c. Cadets
(colored).
THE CRACK ORGANIZATIONS.
Three of the companies are worthy special
mention. The Louisville Rifles, the Wash
ington Light Infantry CWashingtons crack
corps and the Toledo Cadets, the Toledo
men probably carried off the palm. The
competition for the artillery prizes was mar
rowed down to two companies, and the
contest consequently was for the first prize
of 81 800, as the Petersburg Va.) company
had withdrawn from the contest. Had there
been a third contestant a second prize of
81 900 would have been awarded.
THE ARTILLERY DRILL.
One company from indianapolis and one
from Milwaukee drilled to-day The guns,
horses and drivers, and also the judges Of
the contest, were furnished by the Third
regular artillery. Two guns and caissons
were manned by the visiting militia, and
they were drilled by their own Captains.
Both acquitted themselves well
THE RIFLE CONTEST.
| The rifle competition also came off.
Ninety-eight entered, but only thirty
eight reported. The highest score Of
| the day was that of Lieut.. Pollard,
of the Washington Light Infantry.
Lieut.. Pollard was a member of the Interna-
tional Rife Team which went to Wimbledon
Ia few years ago. Eighty-tnree was scored
| by Lieut.. Bell and Private Johistens OF the
| Continentals, of Washington, ID. c., Private
Crossman, Of the Second Iowa, and Private

were 200 and 300 yards to-day.
